Simon's latest invitation for oil exploration in New Zealand waters is this time into the critically endangered Maui Dolphin Sanctuary of the West Coast of the North Island. He even had the Conservation Minister supporting the venture in Cabinet at Question Time. The Sanctuary is there for a reason fools.

In Tauranga on Saturday, hundreds of protesters marched to his electoral office to make it clear that this is another bad idea. Simon made sure he wasn't going to be there to receive them. Nice to see you can run and hide when threatened Simon - hard luck for the Maui Dolphins though.
